The final race of the Suzuka 8 Hours was held in scorching heat. With direct sunlight shining down on the asphalt and the road surface temperature exceeding 60 degrees, the race began as scheduled at 11:30am with a Le Mans-style start, with the riders running to their machines.

Yuki Kunii was the starting rider for SDG Team HARC-PRO.Honda, and made a good start from 4th on the grid, moving up to 2nd. He then came alongside Takumi Takahashi of Honda HRC at NIPPO Corner and moved ahead to take the lead. He led the race early on, attracting attention.

Keito Abe and Teppei Nagoe also showed driving skills with the podium in sight, but Nagoe had an accident while riding, hurting his shoulder, and the planned three stints were changed to two stints. The safety car came out twice towards the end of the race, creating a chaotic situation, but they continued to fight for third place. They aimed for the podium until the end, but fell just short and took the checkered flag in fourth place.
